Ball Slam

How to Perform Ball Slam

1. 1
   To start, hold the ball in your hands. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart. Bring the ball up overhead, thinking about keeping your core engaged through the movement.
2. 2
   When the arms are locked out overhead, the knees, hips, and ankles should all be fully extended as well. Then, you will slam the ball on the ground between your feet using your core and arms to exert full power. This should be an aggressive movement!
3. 3
   Squat down to pick up the ball - keeping your back nice and flat and your chest upright. Quickly, move into the next slam using the power from your legs and hips to stand tall. Arms come back up overhead and you repeat the movement from there.
4. 4
   This is a great movement to incorporate into a HIIT-style workout. While it works a variety of different muscles throughout your whole body, it’s also an effective cardiovascular workout. Be sure to slam the ball with a lot of force to get the most out of the movement.
5. 5
   Try to do as many ball slams as possible within a minute or add another movement, like a burpee, into the mix before doing each rep for an extra challenge.
